Sketch
John Fraser, or Frazier, lived in Paxtang Township, near the Susquehanna, in 1737. He removed to the Allegheny soon after that date, where he established a post at Venango. Here, and at another post at the mouth of Turtle Creek, he took a prominent part in the events preceding Braddock's defeat.
John Postlethwaite is mentioned as an Indian Trader of Conestoga in 1739.
